Wildflower Fix: I'm getting impatient, the beautiful Mexican Gold Poppy's are slow-coming around the Superstition Mtn foothills, so I'm working on getting my Spring Wildflower fix...

Wilderness Images Loc: Apache Junction, AZ.

I'm getting impatient, the beautiful Mexican Gold Poppy's are slow-coming around the Superstition Mtn foothills, so I'm working on getting my Spring Wildflower fix anyway I can. The flowers pictured are actually an African Daisy import that grow like crazy here in the Arizona desert.

This three-acre plot is private property and Rocky, the owner is serious about chasing trespassers out, so be kind and only shoot from your side of the fence.

Thanks Manglesphoto, I found out about the importance of the fence the hard way. A couple of years ago, Rocky caught me inside the fence and I had to bribe my way out of trouble by offering him a couple of my photos of his flowers. Now, I ask first.

Thanks for the reply merrytexan, those flowers are a love/hate relationship around here, because they're non-native and spread like crazy. We don't want them out in the wilderness as they dominate the same grounds as the favorite Mexican Gold Poppy.
